It's a nice upgrade.
IMO, the graphics are tons better and clearer than the SNES version.
But seriously, though, I believe the SNES version was among the best technically... beating a lot of other games back in its days. If you have to ask me... the soundtracks were amazing, animations were flawless, battle system was nothing less of amazing. Or at least it was more dynamic than other titles at the time. I took up the game and really could never get enough of it. (hence moved onto other Tales of titles) This one was comparable to Chrono Trigger in the days imo.
...and especially the soundtracks. The composer should win some awards.
